For the price paid the location was worth it. The room not so much. There was no mini fridge to keep a water bottle cold and they didn’t even have “do not disturb” door tags. They charge an additional $75 for hotel fees, but you have to either pay for valet parking or set an alarm to pay $8 every 2 hours from 8am-6pm for the lot near by.

Great location
Best part of this place is the location. Stayed twice and would stay again. However, the rooms are a bit rundown

Don’t expect a ‘real’ sea view
Biggest disappointment was the sliver of ‘sea view’. The company has now built a new building in front of the original hotel almost completely blocking the sea view. You should amend your description.

Great location and room was adequate
We were there for the high wind days and many things were closed and maintenance wasn’t available for small things and jacuzzi not functioning. Staff very friendly
